Buddy Bell hit homers his first two times at bat, driving in three runs, and Oscar Gamble added a two-run wallop to power the Rangers to a 6-3 victory over the Yankees. Steve Comer, who turned in his first complete game of the season, held the Yankees to seven hits, with two of their runs coming on a round-tripper by Thurman Munson in the first inning.
